Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians

As the season draws closer, we start to dig into the AL Central Matchups. On this crossover edition of Locked On Guardians and Locked On Twins, we discuss the Twins' injuries in 2022 and how they are a deeper team in 2023, how the Guardians and Twins rotations stack up against each other, which players are the biggest pests to the other team, and if the Guardians style of play has made the Twins re-evaluate their strategy.

Pi Day (3.14) features two major numbers in Cleveland baseball history. Two retired numbers, in fact. We discuss those two numbers, who else wore them, and which player will have their number retired by Cleveland next?

FanDuel released a set of MLB power rankings/tiers recently. We debate the Guardians place in the rankings, if they should be higher, and what other teams should move up or down in the rankings.

The Guardians continue to make moves to cut down their roster in advance of the regular season. One move on the recent set of cuts might signal a future plan of how they will handle the roster.

With Andrés Giménez playing shortstop for Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, we debate when and if Cleveland should move him back to shortstop, and why his contract status and keystone partner matters.

Cleveland apparently has had a long-standing interest in Cam Gallagher over the years, so we talk about why he basically seems to have the backup catcher spot wrapped up.

We also get into there being no surprises in who the Guardians have already optioned down to minor league camp and why there likely won't be any.

Jeff also puts on his tinfoil hat and raises his conspiracy of which pitching prospect won't see the majors this year for Cleveland and why.

There's more news coming about regional sports networks concerning Major League Baseball and the Cleveland Guardians, and we look at the latest news and how it impacts how fans will be able to watch Guardians games.

The pitch clock has put an eye on a lot of aspects of baseball that will need to speed up now, but there are other areas that you might not have thought about that could impact the pitch clock. Tune in to find out those other areas.

We've talked a lot about which Guardians pitching prospects we could see make an impact in 2023. And a lot of it has been centered on Logan Allen, Daniel Espino, Tanner Bibee, and Gavin Williams. Let's not forget about Joey Cantillo.

The Cleveland Guardians faced Team Mexico in spring training on March 7, and just like every time it's Cleveland vs. The World, Cleveland comes out on top. Well, Cleveland did beat Team Mexico in spring training/exhibition play and we talk about why that is interesting, even if it doesn't mean anything.

Baseball Savant released a new catching metric to help quantify blocking results for catchers. Cleveland's current catching crew didn't grade out all that well. We'll tell you why and if it should be a cause for concern.

Finally, the Home Opener is now under a month away for Cleveland and we share some of our most memorable games from past Opening Day's and Home Openers, as well as a quick update on former Cleveland prospects playing in WBC action.

Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona was named the most handsome manager in baseball last year. You know the team wasn't going to let that one go without having some fun at their manager's expense, so we laughed along with the team a little bit and their way to poke fun at Tito.

The Guardians seem to have some good news on the injury front for a change with a few relievers scheduled to take the mound on Wednesday for the first time in game action this spring.

A metric developed by 538, called MANFRED, (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/mlb-rule-changes-winners-losers/…) projects that the Guardians are the team that stands to take advantage of baseball's new rules the most and benefit. We get into that metric and why it says the Guardians are the perfect team for baseball's new rules.

We also re-hash playing time questions between Myles Straw and Will Brennan, explaining why Straw is going to be the regular centerfielder, why he'll be better in '23 and why both players should see plenty of playing time.

Also let us know if you're going to be watching the World Baseball Classic Tuesday night as Cuba and the Netherlands (Richie Palacios) play in the first game of the '23 tournament. We know Jeff will be glued to his TV!

Roman Quinn has created some chatter early in Guardians spring training? Can he make the Guardians opening day roster and should he? We map out the Guardians outfield playing time-based on last year's plate appearances to see how Cleveland can make their outfield work in 2023.

Stolen base rates and successes are up in spring training 2023 compared to spring training of 2022 thanks to the new rules. Does that mean José Ramírez will be shooting for another 30/30 season and will the Guardians see more steals?

What will the Guardians do if Sam Hentges is out for an extended period of time? Is Tim Herrin their only option? What other options do they have and who can they turn to? We debate left-handed relief options behind Hentges and Herrin.
